LEUKEMIA |
|
There are several types of Leukemia, but the two major types are acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and acute non-lymphoblastic leukemia. These two types of leukemia combined account for about 93% of all leukemia cases. Hispanic males and females have a moderate risk of developing leukemia when compared to other ethnic groups. Latina women have a significantly higher mortality rate compared to other ethnic groups.
